Oscar Tshiebwe determined to keep his cool vs. Providence

The script for beating Kentucky this season includes a big section on Oscar Tshiebwe. The reigning national player of the year is the best in the sport at dominating the boards, but his flaws have been exposed this season. His pick-and-roll defense is the most obvious example, but recently, the normally unflappable Oscar has started to lose his cool. In the last two games, Oscar has gotten Flagrant One technical fouls for throwing elbows. It actually happened twice in that first game, vs. Arkansas, but the refs only called one Flagrant One, giving a common foul for the other.
